Hi Moff,
How are you? There aren't many of us Crabs on here, and by the looks of it you are the oldest ,so you'll get shafted to be the SWO.

What was Eastchurch then? And what did you do in the Mob?

Hi Moff,

No need to shout (Using all capitals) mate, typical bloody SWO. :D

Were Armourers known as Plumbers in your day? What Squadrons were you on? Tell us a bit about your service life then, that era is fascinating to many on here, was Catfoss Kipper Fleet?
Cheers
